Cascadas del Hueznar

Seville enchants

Given its privileged location, overlooking the vast territories of the North that shape the La Campiña, there is evidence of human settlements since very early times. The Castle started as an Ibero-Turdetan defensive bastion in the 5th century BC. When the Carthaginians arrived 200 years later, it became a watchtower.

The façade of the Plaza de Andalucía dates back to the latter half of the 20th century. The building typifies Andalusian rationalist architecture. The ensemble comprised of the Town Hall, Plaza de Andalucía, Marchena, Victoria and Sevilla streets, and the Plaza del Cabildo is the real nerve centre and one of the town’s most beautiful cityscapes. 

The Andalusia Line’s telegraph tower-fortress for the Puertollano-Cádiz section was built between 1850 and 1853 and remained in use until 1857. The tower, built as a fortress, was guarded by paramilitary troops with rifles. When it was abandoned, the Guardia Civil guarded the building to avoid its use as a fortress by criminals or rebels.

Its construction began in the late 16th century, under the direction of Diego López de Arenas. Following the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, which severely damaged the building, the master-builder Alonso Ruiz Florindo renovated the entire complex. The most eye-catching feature of its main portal is the recessed stretcher bond brickwork.

The Nuestra Señora de las Nieves Parish Church is a noteworthy temple that began to be built in the early 14th century. A façade-tower and a magnificent Gothic main altarpiece from around 1500 was added in the third quarter of the 16th century.

The Church of Nuestra Señora de las Huertas is located in the centre of the town of La Puebla de los Infantes, a few minutes from the Castle of La Puebla de los Infantes.

This large, 40-metre tall tower was built in 1760-1766 as part of the Victoria Church in Estepa (Seville). The Convent was home to a community of the Order of the Minimal Fathers of Saint Francis of Paola since 1562.
